Santo Domingo de Silos
Burgos · Spain
The Abbey of Santo Domingo de Silos draws visitors to this tiny Burgos village, with researchers linking it to El Cid — Rodrigo Díaz de Vivar and his wife Jimena donated estates to the monastery, whose cloister was still under construction in 1081, the year of El Cid's exile. The village holds a conjunto histórico heritage listing and sits within the "Arlanza Triangle" alongside Lerma and Covarrubias, and on the Camino del Cid route.
